How to Fix Broken Graphics on Multiplayer Maps

Ubisoft dropped the ball and shipped the Steam version of the game with missing texture files in some of the multiplayer maps. Here's how to restore them.

Introduction

If you've tried out the multiplayer mode in Tim Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown before, you may have noticed that the game has corrupted graphics on some of the maps. This is due to the Steam version of the game having missing texture files on 5 of them. The issue is most noticeable on the City Streets map as the light rays on there look like this.


How very disrespectful of Ubisoft to treat Tim's hand drawn graphics like this...

The Fix

I've prepared a patch for the Steam version that restores the missing texture files which you can download here[drive.google.com].

Navigate to your installation directory: right click on the game in your library, click properties, select the 'Local Files' tab, and then click 'Browse...'. Open up the zip file for the patch and extract the 'data' folder here. Nothing should be overwritten. Verify you've copied the files over correctly by making sure there are 214 items in the 'Rainbow Six Lockdown\data\map\mp_08_rt_citystreets' directory, and checking in game to ensure the graphics are no longer corrupted.
